day served the city council with a notice OF a
claim for five thousand dollars damages to
his property on Washington street, caused by
the digging down of the sidewalk and under

cation, continues the report, can scarcely
be overestimated. Its live stock interests
are i'll Il fiourishing condition. Taking
in the aggregate, the mining industries

Narajoes are the most prosperous, intel

the wealthiest tribe in the United States.

u decidedly picturesque appearance. The
streets are crowded with strangers, and
the decorations are very elaborate. The
citizens are greatly disappointed with the
short stay which the president and Mrs.
Cleveland will make. The presidential
party have spent most of the day very
quietly at Gen. Jackson's mansion
at Belle Meade farm. After u late
breakfast the president, Mrs. Cleve-
land and Col. Lamont, accompanied by
Gen. Jackson, took a stroll about the
grounds and deer park and inspected the
"hyers" of the famous stock farm. After
inspecting the thoroughbreds the party
took positions in the deer park. Uncle
Bob mounted q horse and rode over the
place in order to get the deer together,
and succeeding in this started after them,
and in a short time brought them on
a dead run, nearly 300 strong,
within short distance of
the party. The sight was u grand one,
and greatly appreciated. Mrs. Cleveland
was delighted with the novel scene, and
the president doubtless wished he could
join in the chase, prepared to ''pick out''
IL of the widest of the bucks. The
deer roam about this immense forest at
will, and are nearly as wild as if they
were in the mountains. Subsequently Mr..
and Mrs. Cleveland were driven to the
city, where they called upon the widow

standing the rapidity with which bust
ness was hustled through, it is the gen
eral opinion that the assembly disposed
of its work as efficiently as is usual. In
the morning the committee on laws COM
pletcd its report, and the report of the
committee on appeals and grievances and
cooperation followed. The assembly
buckled down to work with a fierce de-
termination and did not even adjourn for
dinner. The following are the important
acts Of the assembly, as reported by the
committee on publication. 1t is optional
with locals to subscribe to the co-opera

no change in the management of the

AT II o'clock the president and Mrs.
Cleveland entered their flower-bedecked
carriage, and with an escort of cavalry
and artillery made their way through
muddy streets to the exposition grounds.
1t was n sadly depressing spectacle. The
rainfall, though never severe, was per-
%sistent, and the lowering skies gave no
promise Of change. The procession moved
slowly around the race track, and brought
up in front of the grand stand. Mr..
C%leveland's carriage was driven close to
the inner railing, and there he awaited
the passage of the troops in review before
him. There wa a delay of one mortal
hour before anything happened. At
last a discharge of bombs, n burst of
music, and the troops, perhaps Il thon
sand men, GENE marching and Slip

up in his carriage and held his umbrella
over him to receive them. When the
column had passed, the carriage wal
with some difficulty extracted from the
soil, turned round and the proposed mil
itary reception having been abandoned,
the party returned to town. In the after
noon the president was entertained by
Hon. Julius Brown, son of Senator
Brown. AT the same hour the most
magnificent entertainment given Mrs,
Cleveland on the trip was provided by
Mrs. Henry w. Grady. In the evening
a general public reception was given at

find from what cause the epidemic comes.
Poor water and defective sewerage are
generally blamed. A panic prevails, aud

DULUTH, Oct. 20.-A gentleman in this
city has positive knowledge that the st.
Paul a. Duluth railway company have
decided to so ahead Mt once and build an
extension of their line from St. Paul to
Omaha, making q direct mir line. Survey
ors have been out ON the line for some
time, and the survey is now al
most completed. The line as sur
vcyed passes thirteen miles southeast of
Mankato, md the board of trade of that
city sent Il delegation to President Fisher
to induce him to make that one of the
points ON the line. He replied that he
could not, as they would make a line just
rs near m air line rs the topography of
the country would allow, turning out for
no place, however important, and that
the offer Of $500, 900 by Sioux City for Il
Duluth connection would not tempt to
break this resolution, but that after the
through line was built they would build
| feeders.
